HTML: Parsing Library

 (require html)
The html library provides functions to read html documents and structures to represent them.

(read-xhtml port) → html?
  port : input-port?
(read-html port) → html?
  port : input-port?
Reads (X)HTML from a port, producing an html instance.

(read-html-as-xml port) → (listof content/c)
  port : input-port?
Reads HTML from a port, producing an X-expression compatible with the xml library (which defines content/c).

(read-html-comments) → boolean?
(read-html-comments v) → void?
  v : any/c
If v is not #f, then comments are read and returned. Defaults to #f.

(use-html-spec) → boolean?
(use-html-spec v) → void?
  v : any/c
If v is not #f, then the HTML must respect the HTML specification with regards to what elements are allowed to be the children of other elements. For example, the top-level "<html>" element may only contain a "<body>" and "<head>" element. Defaults to #f.

    ; extract-pcdata: html-content -> (listof string)
